Abstract
The first decade of the nineteenth century saw an unprecedented number of publications of medieval romance in Britain, as a local manifestation of the recovery of vernacular literature taking place across Europe. Setting out to rescue texts from increasingly accessible public libraries, the early nineteenth-century editors struggled to find publishers willing to risk the publication of medieval romance, despite changing tastes. Drawing on contemporarycorrespondence, this article will use an instance of conflict and ill-humour to explore the mutually supportive collaborative networks that made these publications possible and, briefly, allowed even more ambitious projects to be planned.
